Summer Rainfall

Caught in  a summer rainfall,
split second moment, easy recall;

Thoughts hazy with humidity 
in the air, so much electricity;

Thunderstorm trying to engage 
a local band and an outdoor stage; 
 
Hoping for a bit of a distraction 
sipped my drink, instant explosion;  

Gripped tighter, held onto my glass,
a flash quickly followed by a  crash;

Caught your eyes at the same time,
It wasn’t the thunder that shook the sky;

Split second moment, easy recall,
caught in  a summer rainfall.
